The late Religious and Moral Education teacher, in his police statement, said he did not travel to the Information Centre to warn the suspects to desist from defecating on the school compound as reported earlier.
He said in the audio recording that the six suspects used broken chairs to beat him up mercilessly resulting in his death later.
Reports stated that the school has a snail farm, which was encroached by some youth in the community.
The youth also used the school compound for immoral activities such as smoking of 'Wee' and sex at night.
It turned out that the six suspects are all former students of the Asiakwa Salvation Army Basic School, and four of them were said to have been sacked by the school authorities due to insubordination and stealing of snails on the school farm.
The sacked suspects were said to have been arrested by the Kyebi Police three years ago after an investigation conducted by the deceased and two other teachers.
But instead of prosecuting them, some opinion leaders intervened and the suspects were made to pay for the cost of the snails.
